I tried with Suse 11 (KDE), Xubuntu 11.10 and Lubuntu 11.10 and these systems only recognizes 800Mhz from my processor of 2Ghz!

The utilities I used are: linuxinfo, sysinfo, "system profiler and benchmark". And all of this only shows 800Mhz

My system specs are:

  • AMD Turion 64 Mobile MK36
  • 512 RAM
  • nVidia Geforce Go 6150 (I also tried with nVidia restricted drivers)
  • 120GB Hard drive

The weirdest thing is that Windows XP and 7 recognize the 2Ghz of my processor,

What can I do?

p.s. (It is not just the value of 800Mhz, I also feel my system very slow with linux)
